About Boeing

“Boeing Co. BA is creating a new unit to develop and build aircraft avionics systems, expanding its strategy of insourcing key technology to cut costs. The new Boeing Avionics unit will expand the aerospace company’s existing offering of electronics systems, focusing on areas such as navigation and flight controls for future commercial and military jets.

T

he move, announced in a memo to staff Monday, takes Boeing deeper into the territory of big suppliers such as Rockwell Collins Inc. COL +2.94% and Honeywell International Inc. HON +0.48% following the recent expansion of its services business. While Boeing Avionics will focus on equipment for future products entering service over the next decade, it could also be used to produce more advanced parts for existing aircraft currently supplied by third parties.
Boeing said the avionics business had been established in consultation with suppliers. Shares in Rockwell Collins extended an early decline and were recently down more than 6%. A spokesman said it didn’t expect any impact from Boeing’s move in the “foreseeable future,” and said they would continue to work collaboratively.
Chicago-based Boeing already produces a range of aircraft electronics, and the new unit will have an initial staff of 120, growing to an expected 600 by 2019.The company is pursuing more vertical integration of its aircraft manufacturing business, standing up internal operations in areas such as advanced materials, propulsion systems and actuators, which move the flaps on a jet’s wings. Boeing is supplying missiles and bombs at a Saudi Arabia contract price of $6.8 billion. In addition, Boeing received a $3.5 billion-dollar contract for Chinook Helicopters.

About Raytheon

The increase in external net sales at MS was primarily due to higher net sales on the Paveway program principally driven by international requirements, higher net sales on the Standard Missile-3 (SM-3®) program principally driven by planned increases in production, higher net sales on the Excalibur program due to recognition of previously deferred precontract costs based on a contract award in the third quarter of 2017, higher net sales on the Standard Missile-2 (SM-2) program due to the recognition of previously deferred precontract costs based on a contract award in the second quarter of 2017 and planned increases in production, and higher net sales on an international missile defense program due to planned increases in production, partially offset by lower net sales on the Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM®) program driven by the recognition of previously deferred precontract costs based on a contract award in the first quarter of 2016 and lower net sales on the Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV) program due to a planned decline in production.
